The Colorado District Court judge has agreed with Empire Lodge Homeowners Association's position that the Association is not subject to CCIOA, and ruled in the Association’s favor. More specifically, the Court GRANTED our motion for determination of question of law holding ELHA is a pre-CCIOA community. This means our vote was proper and we only needed over 50% to enact STR ban. A copy of the Order (Order Granting Motion for Determination of Law) can be found under Documents on the BLE website.
The Board will keep the community advised of further developments if they arise.
To stem the spread of Covid-19 the Board has discussed and decided to close all BLE facilities including the Lodge and Cabins for 30 days. The Board will re-evaluate the closure at that time.
A reminder that the March 28th Board Meeting is postponed until further notice.
Please see www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html for more information.
Please take care,
The Empire Lodge Homeowners Association Board
